Imperial Sysco Pork Recall Issued Due to Metal Fragments

|

About 5,550 pounds of Imperial Sysco pureed pork are being recalled from store shelves after at least two people reported finding metal fragments in their food. 

The pureed pork recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on September 26, after the manufacturer, K. Heeps, Inc. reported the consumer complaints. There have been no reports of injury or illness related to the foreign objects found in the pork.

The FSIS suggests that the metal pieces may have broken off of the blending equipment while it was being cleaned and reassembled, somehow ending up in the meat.

The recall affects 5,550 pounds of Imperial Sysco “Puree Shaped Meats Country Style Pork and Binder Product” which was shipped in 4.5-pound boxes. The boxes of recalled pork will have “EST. 9379” inside the USDA mark of inspection. It was produced on June 16, 2011 and will have a production code of 06/16/2011. Designated for institutional use, the meat was shipped to California, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Virginia.]

Since the meat was designated for institutional use, there should not be any in individual consumer’s freezers. Consumers with questions regarding the Imperial Sysco pureed pork recall should call K. Heeps Inc. Quality Assurance Manager, David Pychinka at (610)530-5564.
